Badi - Ud - Din Mahmud Girls College

As we look in retrospect, the inception of Badi- Ud - Din Mahmud Girls College dates back to the 1950s. It was a school with humble beginnings. With the dawn of independence the nations stalwarts envisioned their primary concern over education.

Yet better late than never, Mr. M.A.S. Marikkar, Mr. M. Jameel and Mr. Rahmathullah were some of the gentleman of wisdom in Kandy. They unleashed their dynamic personalities, with the hindsight for a Muslim Girls school in the hill capital. Their dreams came true in the year 1956. On the 16 th of January 1956 they established the school at the premises of the Line mosque in Kandy with a mere 52 students and 3 teachers, with the name bearing “Muslim ladies college”. It was indeed a milestone in the annals of Muslim female education in Sri Lanka.

On the 1 st of January 1963, the school was acquired by the government consequently to the implementation of the new educational reforms. There by it was enlisted as a full-fledged government school.

In 1991 B.M.G.C was accredited the status of National School being among the 13 leading schools of sri Lanka. The introduction of Bilingual education in 2002 is another hallmark in the history of the college. Certainly, the emergence of the above has unwittingly endeavored the college to greater heights and wider accolades. We were privileged to amalgamate Sauladiya Vidyalaya to our school in 2009.

Today we are blessed with a dynamic principal with a visionary leadership and a healthy sustenance comprising 154 staff members,19 non academic staff members and 2270 students, rooted in an awe inspiring environment in its’ current location.
